I did not call her a bitch (I would not call her a bitch, I absolutely detest that word) what I did say was that she was rude, which is exactly my impression from that scene so I stand by my statement. And frankly, I would have equally been offended had it gone the other way, had it be Uhura drunk and hitting on Kirk with him standing there insulting her instead of walking away.

No means no, means no, I would never argue that, we're in full agreement there. But there is dismissing someone, i.e. walking away, and there is antagonizing someone. You see what I'm saying here? She did the latter.

Its not so much that he deserved her respect, because, frankly, he didn't. But he did deserve common courtesy. But I'm old school, I believe everyone deserves common courtesy, unless they cross a certain threshold of unacceptable behavior, which I don't feel he did. As I said, he wasn't touching her, wasn't insulting her, wasn't encroaching on her personal space, he was simply talking to her. Trying to engage her in conversation. That was the worst of his sins during that part of that scene (well that and using the cheesiest pick-up lines known to mankind, so I suppose we can fault him for that if we're going to fault him for anything).

As for his presence not being wanted, he was already sitting at the bar when she approached it. Its not like he approached her on the middle of the dance floor or at her table with her friends. This is another reason why the ball was in her court to walk away.

However, I very much agree with your last sentence. I, too, would like to see them as friends. And I also agree that these incarnations of them are very similar: they're are both very intelligent, both ambitious, and both have a softer side they don't easily show.
